Some of the changes that will come into force as a result include the expansion of the deposit system to all non-returnable plastic beverage bottles, with non-carbonated fruit juice packaging joining carbonated drinks packaging in the scheme.
SmartHeat RHC also allows for a reduction in energy during the bottle blowing process, helping to reduce carbon emissions.

This reduction in energy consumption can not only cut costs, but it can also lower the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: Using recycle-enabling process aids can lower the energy consumption of the bottle-blowing process, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of the entire packaging lifecycle.

With appropriate material selection and part design
optimization, long carbon fiber materials can reduce
the weight of components up to 50% compared to
aluminum.
Complēt™ LCF
Long carbon fiber reinforced materials have higher
rigidity/modulus, higher strength, lighter weight, and
more marketability potential than glass fiber, making
it the ideal fiber reinforcement for metal replacement.
Complēt™ PKE
Long glass fiber reinforced polyketone solutions that
deliver excellent chemical resistance, low moisture
uptake, and a reduced carbon footprint.

HOW VERSAFLEX TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN PORTABLE SPEAKERS APPLICATIONS
GASKETS
Water and Dust Protection
- Tight housing seals with no leakage over time
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps required of
O-rings by overmolding directly onto the substrate;
strong adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Injection molding TPEs in gaskets enables
complex designs in which simple O-rings would be
challenging to assemble
SPEAKER SKINS
Durable Look and Feel
- Silky feel soft touch
- Long lasting aesthetics with abrasion and UV
resistance
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps
required of silicone skins by overmolding
directly onto the substrate; strong
adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Overmolding TPE removes the need for
mechanical interlocks and primers to get
silicone materials to adhere to substrates

At first, they experimented with pre-colored
ABS, but the ABS parts failed the company’s
requirements for color retention after exposure
to UV light.
